El Cuatrero is finally opening up about everything he’s been through over the past few years, and he says he’s nowhere near finished fighting his legal battle over the domestic violence case.
Speaking with Devorador de Pecados, Cuatrero reflected on spending nearly two years confined before returning to wrestling. He admitted that period changed his life, but said he’s grateful to be on the other side of it and is focused on proving the kind of person he believes he is.
“Well, the truth is I feel very happy. I mean, when you talk about it, you know, ultimately, I was… there are many people who sometimes ignore it, who don’t know, but in the end, I was confined for a period of my life, almost two years, due to personal circumstances. But now I’m on this side, even with that process. I mean, I’m still trying to demonstrate the kind of person I am, because in the end it’s just that: time. Time will show each part, each part, who is who. And well, happy with life.”
Although he’s no longer confined, Cuatrero stressed that he doesn’t consider the situation finished. He said there are still issues that have to be resolved through the legal process, adding that he’s prepared to keep going for as long as it takes until everything is settled.
“I mean, I’m happy and grateful to God because at the end of the day we continue on the path day by day, because we are working and, well, this is not over until it’s over. And believe me, I will continue steadfast until the last day and, well, that’s it. I mean, I don’t see myself 10 feet underground for a long time, so there’s a long way to go. There’s a long way to go. Things have to be clarified, one way or another, but they will be clarified.”
The interviewer also noted that Cuatrero didn’t seem bitter despite everything that’s happened over the last few years. Instead of talking about resentment, Cuatrero said the biggest thing on his mind throughout the ordeal was getting back to his family, something he had wanted more than anything while he was confined.
“Well, yes. And that’s what I’m telling you. At the end of the day, I’m on this side, I’m coming back, connected, I’m with my family, who at the time, that’s what I wanted and desired the most. And may God bless them because no one ever forgets me, and so I’m happy with life.”
As the conversation continued, the interviewer again brought up Cuatrero’s mindset after everything he’d gone through. Cuatrero said having a clear conscience has helped him move forward, explaining that his biggest concern during his confinement wasn’t wrestling at all—it was wondering what would happen to his family and whether he’d ever get back to them.
“Well, that’s the one where your conscience is clear. It’s what they say, everything floats, it’s going to float. So, and I’ll go back to the same thing, I mean, what made me go through, well, I thought it was like, well, yes, it was inside… I started to think, ‘Ah, well, what’s going to happen now? What am I going to do?’ My family, what weighed on me the most. And now, being on this side, well, I’m grateful. I mean, I’m with my family, I’m working.”
This probably won’t end the conversation surrounding Cuatrero, but it does show he’s ready to tell his side whenever he’s given the chance. With the case still moving forward, there could be plenty more to come before everything is finally settled.
